Member Platform
An internal platform, available to club members only, for actually organizing the work — not another chat group that loses track of who's doing what. It's where Hackathon teams plan their build, where personal preparedness projects get tracked task by task, and where club initiatives get coordinated.
What you can actually do with it
A separate space per project
Your Hackathon team's build, your own 72-hour kit checklist, a club initiative you're helping run — each gets its own workspace, not one giant shared mess.
Task tracking that actually shows status
Break a build down into real, assignable tasks and see what's done, what's in progress, and what's stuck — instead of guessing from a chat scrollback.
Timelines and calendars
Lay out a multi-day Hackathon build or a personal prep timeline visually, with deadlines that are actually visible to everyone working on it.
A wiki for every project
Document your solution as you build it — decisions, how-tos, what didn't work — in a space attached to that specific project, not scattered across notes.
Discussion boards, not another chat app
Async discussion scoped to the project it's about, searchable later — instead of an idea getting lost three days down a group chat.
Real time tracking
See how much time you've actually put into a build — useful for a Hackathon retro, or just for knowing what a personal project really costs you.
Fields tailored to the work
Tracking fields that match what you're actually building, not a generic corporate template that doesn't fit a 48-hour build or a home preparedness project.
Code, linked in context
Hackathon teams writing code can link their repository and see changes right alongside the tasks they belong to, not in a separate tab.
Connected directly to the site, not a separate tool
The platform isn't cut off from the rest of the site — every public section has its counterpart there, where it becomes something you can actually work on, not just read.
Challenges
Any Challenge on the site can be opened as an item on the platform — you submit it, a member picks it up, solves it, and notes how. The exact same submit-and-solve loop as the Hackathon, available year-round.
Shop
Borrow or purchase requests for anything in the shop — a laptop for a build, a piece of kit — tracked as an item, not lost in a private message.
Events
RSVPs and volunteer sign-ups for public and members-only events, with real status — signed up, confirmed, in progress.
What it actually looks like
Challenges submitted and solved, equipment borrowed from the shop, event RSVPs — each tracked as an item, with a real status and a responsible member, not lost in a chat. A guided tour through the actual pilot instance, screenshotted live.
Who gets access to what
Every project is private by default — your Hackathon team's build, your own prep-project workspace, a club initiative — visible only to the people actually on it, not every member by default.
- Members (Individual, Family, Company) can read every club project, comment on the work, and follow the timetable. At events they bring their own device.
- Pro members can create issues and projects, edit the wiki, submit hardware-borrow requests for events, join the events team, and use the club's own AI assistants.
- Volunteers get the same, plus access to the logistics side of events they've signed up to help run.
- Company accounts get one contact who can manage their own company's seats — never another company's.
- Hackathon mentors and judges can see the teams they're assigned to, only for that event's dates.
This platform is part of the members-only resource library — a real person reviews every membership application before access is granted. In internal testing now, at the address below.
